Santa Cruz Communications celebrates a decade of service.

Santa Cruz Communications that specializes in the Hispanic market with offices in Los Angeles and Miami, is celebrating its tenth anniversary and the healthy growth and high retention of clients while cementing its presence in both, the East and West coasts. The firm has established itself as one of the most trusted boutique public relations firms dedicated to the Hispanic market in the areas of entertainment, corporate communications, and event planning.

“In 2001 I took a leap of faith and opened up my own company. Santa Cruz Communications was born from the desire to set my entrepreneurial spirit free, and the excitement of venturing into the Small Business world,” said Claudia Santa Cruz, President. “With the same enthusiasm, our plans for the immediate future include actively pursuing and increasing our selective roster of clients while providing a service that exceeds their goals and expectations,” she concluded.

Polo: Las cartas secretas de Caso Cerrado” and the TV productions “Caso Cerrado,” “Caso Cerrado Edicion Estelar” and, “Persiguiendo Injusticias ” that air on Telemundo; Santa Cruz Communications handles and supervises all public relations activities for the brand.

Additionally, the agency has added to its client roster beauty, fashion and image expert, Patricia Sturla, for whom Santa Cruz Communications is responsible for developing and managing Sturla’s public relations campaigns, community relations, digital media and advertising opportunities with the goal of raising awareness and promoting her image at a national level.
